Murder by Death (PG)

1976, 94 min

Neil Simon wrote the screenplay for this classic comedy-mystery. An eccentric millionaire (Truman Capote) invites the world’s greatest living detectives to a dinner party where murder is on the menu. The all-star cast includes David Niven and Maggie Smith as Dick and Dora Charleston, Elsa Lanchester as Jessica Marbles, Peter Sellers as Sidney Wang, Peter Falk as Sam Diamond, and James Coco as Milo Perrier. Alex Guinness is hilarious as the blind butler. (“Ten people for dinner and I’m serving them hot nothing!”)
